"Damn girl," he says, looking me over, "what the hell are you trying to do to me?"I look down at myself, still trying to wake up the rest of the way and realize I'm in those tiny cotton white shorts and varsity tee with no bra on underneath.

6. "The most common occurrence in this world of ours, in these days of stumbling blindly forward, is to come across men and women mature in years and ripe in prosperity, who, at eighteen, were not just beaming beacons of style, but also, and perhaps above all, bold revolutionaries determined to bring down the system supported by their parents and to replace it, at last, with a fraternal paradise, but who are now equally firmly attached to convictions and practices which, having warmed up and flexed their muscles on any of the many available versions of moderate conservatism, become, in time, pure egotism of the most obscene and reactionary kind. Put less respectfully, these men and these women, standing before the mirror of their life, spit every day in the face of what they were with the sputum of what they are."

Ne zaman bir öykü anlatilsa gece olur. Nerede oturulursa oturulsun, zaman ve mevsim ne olursa olsun, masal anlatmak saçaklardan yildizli bir gökyüzünün ve beyaz bir ayin çikip süzülmesine ve dinleyenlerin kafalarinin üstünde asili durmasina neden olur. Kimi zaman, masalin sonuna dogru oda safakla dolar, kimi zaman arkada bir yildiz parçasi kalir, kimi zaman da firtinali gökyüzünden bir paçavra parçasi. Ve arkada kalan her ne olursa olsun, bu sey çalismak için, ruh-yapiminda kullanmak için bir armagandir."
Author: Clarissa Pinkola Estés
